Drumroll please…

I’ve been sat here trying to think of the best way to announce the terribly exciting news that is the title of my next and fabulously brand new book, all set to publish in June 2013, but since I can’t control myself any longer, I’ll just tell you.

The title is…

About A Girl

I bounced around a thousand different titles while working on the concept but nothing seemed right and every time I spoke to someone about it, they inevitably asked what the book was about. Without fail, not knowing what else to say so early on in the process, I would reply ‘Well, it’s about a girl…’ About the millionth time I gave this answer, I realised that it was both true and the perfect title. It’s also a Nirvana song but that’s really just a coincidence.

The wonderful design team at HarperCollins are working on the cover right now and I can’t wait to see how their interpretation of this new adventure. As soon as I have something to share, you’ll find it here first.

Comments? Thoughts? Feelings?

Here’s what it’s about…

Tess Brookes has no life. She’s spent the last six years slaving away at an ad agency, working towards that gorgeous corner office. But when she’s unceremoniously fired, drinks a gallon of whiskey and confesses undying (and unreciprocated) love to her best friend, she realises that somewhere along the way, life has gone awry.

Resolving to change and after accidentally answering her horrible flatmate’s phone, she decides that if being Tess isn’t going so well, why shouldn’t she be Veronica? Throwing caution to the wind and good sense out of the window, she accepts Veronica’s photography assignment on that beautiful exotic island – she used to be an amateur snapper, how hard can it be? Right?

But pretending to be someone else is harder than it looks. And what should you do when the insanely hot but undoubtedly obnoxious journalist on the shoot is coming on to you like a train? Far from home and in someone else’s shoes, Tess must decide whether to fight on through, or ‘fess up and run…http://0

Absolutely wonderful concept and I can’t wait to read it 🙂
When is the soonest I can get my hands on it?
Amazing story and I can’t wait for the ‘exotic island’. I’m guessing it’s the Maldives? Or Hawaii!

Can’t wait, all your books are fab. Too fab really because I can’t put them down and I get through them too quickly! June is yonks away. Please release a fab box set of the I heart series so we can have a collectors edition!!!! Please……………….

I am so excited for your new novel. I can not wait for the publish date and to get my hands on a copy. I have followed your books all the way and have no doubt in my mind this one will be just as good as all the others. If Angela and Rachel are anything to go by then Tess should be an adventure :). Good luck and hope the cover art goes well.
